About
Lithos Crop Protect GmbH is an Austrian biotechnology company specializing in the development, registration, and marketing of biological crop protection agents and biostimulants. Founded in Ennsdorf, Austria, the company leverages naturally occurring zeolite minerals as carriers for pheromone-based pest control solutions. Its flagship innovation is pherolit-d — the world's first sprayable pheromone product targeting the Western Corn Rootworm in maize, using the patented lithos micro dispenser technology. The technology enables mating disruption at agricultural scale using standard field sprayers, making it economically viable for large-scale farming. Lithos Crop Protect has received EU Accelerator (EIC) grant funding and its products can be used in both conventional and organic farming. In 2025, Syngenta acquired Lithos Crop Protect to strengthen its biologicals R&D pipeline.
